"Dear Reader, As the title already expresses, this redesigned and extended publication of “Enriching the Life and Health of the Chest Area” aims, in particular, to introduce new possibilities for prevention of and recovery from the ever increasingly emerging illnesses of the chest area. Some will have noticed over the years that their thoracic spine is nowhere near so elastic, so mobile and youthfully upright as it used to be. What is behind the initial stiffening and, often painful, restriction of movement and how can we avoid this symptom? It is worth explaining here that the author Heinz Grill is a spiritual teacher and that he also has an in depth medical knowledge. His explanations are to be understood in this light."

The name “soul-exercise“ describes the character of these exercises, for through them an opening to the soul-mysteries occurs, as well as a natural perception out of the soul. The soul is invisibly hidden in the innerbody ; it rests behind the busy and tense drive of the everyday. Yet the more deeply our attention and interests connect with the perceptions of the inner world, the more a path of access is paved to the great world-mysteries.

This exercise cycle of twelve movements is suitable for building strength and elasticity in the spine and for warming the body. The sun prayer is therefore a good gymnastic, warming exercise which can be done at the start of an exercise sequence.

Here is a book with a different approach to the many contradictory theories and recommendations about nutrition. It teaches us how to develop a feeling for food and sense its nature for ourselves. The thoughts in these chapters are intended to accompany our own exploration of different foods as we observe them, taste them and build a relationship to them. Instead of overloading our heads with yet more facts, we can open our hearts with a new kind of sensitivity. As we develop our own inner perceptions about nature and the different foods it offers us, our souls are nourished as well as our bodies. The words themselves are food for the soul. On

When a person dies, the physical body remains behind as the property of the earth and the astral body or the consciousness lives on further. This consciousness is generally known as the soul, which ultimately passes over into so-called heaven. Heaven, as a rule, is a place which we see as above, or which we assume has a subtle, metaphysical significance. Heaven is a place, which we can perhaps describe as the cosmos, as the sea of stars. It is then the macrocosm. But this heaven is not only above, it also exists in the innermost realm of the human being.

This Soul Dimension of Yoga is new in terms of philosophy and the experience of contemporary culture. Its practice, method and interpretation have not been derived from previously known paths and yet they lead directly into the sensitive, sacred realm of bhakti-, jnana- and karma-yoga.

In comparison to the way of practising yoga now familiar in the West, this spiritually and artistically- oriented path of spiritual training places less emphasis on a technical method and more on the uniqueness of meditation in its pictures and choice of words. The exercises have been taken from the broad dimension of hatha-yoga and have a deeper and newer meaning through a living, spiritual vision. This spiritual or super-sensory perspective gives the exercises a sensitive and artistic character, which raises them above a mere training in yoga and gives them that touch of the soul, free of the body.

This book contributes to a deepening of work with the breath and introduces the reader to the soul-spiritual connections of life. It is divided into two sections. One is the so-called Free Breath Schooling in which a cycle of different physical exercises is described in order to experience the breathing in its lively connection and happening with life. The exercises become clear in their deeper sense. Some of them are completely new. The other section describes exercises of conscious guiding of the breath, the so-called pranayama exercises.

"The cosmic prayer is, to a certain extent, an aesthetic expression for the whole image of man. It describes the path of spiritual development, but through the various individual gestures it also describes human beings themselves in their aesthetic and thus more highly developed mental body."
